The first final of the 2024 WTT Saudi Grand Slam has been completed.
In the Mixed Doubles final, Wong Chu Chin/Sun Ying Sha swept away Hong Kong's Wong Chun Ting/To Hoi Kim 3-0 to win the Mixed Doubles title. Wong Chun-ting/To Hoi-king finished second in mixed doubles.
This is the first championship of the WTT Saudi Arabia Grand Slam, and it was won by the national table tennis team. At the same time, this is the fourth mixed doubles title won by the Shatou duo at a WTT Grand Slam event. The WTT Singapore Grand Slam has been held three times, and the mixed doubles title was won by Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha.
The WTT Grand Slam tournament has been held four times, and Wang Chuqin/Sun Yingsha have won the mixed doubles title all four times. They're just amazing, an absolute golden combination.
After winning the mixed doubles title, the Shatou pair can earn 2000 world ranking points. The two of them will be welded to the top of the mixed doubles world rankings, far ahead, and the fault line is first.
They will also receive a prize of $8,500, which translates to 61,000 yuan. They also have singles tournaments, and that one has a bigger prize. Wang Chuqin also reached the men's doubles final. Although Wang Chuqin is tired of doing three things, he has gained a lot and is worth it. However, at the moment of winning the championship, Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin were very calm.
Wong and Du Hoi-king, the first-time mixed doubles runners-up at a WTT Grand Slam event, will receive 1,400 world ranking points and US$5,500 in prize money. They have gained a lot, so they are naturally very happy.
The award ceremony was held after the game.
The runner-up, Huang Zhenting/Du Kaiqin, took the stage to accept the award first. After the two men reached the podium, they had smiles on their faces. They were very happy and proud to have won the mixed doubles runners-up at a WTT Grand Slam for the first time. For them, it is indeed not easy, and it is also something to be proud of.
Interestingly, when the guests presented the trophy, the two lifted it together. Maybe they don't have a chance to win the prize, and it's an important event, so it's inevitable that they will be too excited. In fact, they each have a trophy.
Champions Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha later took the stage to accept the award. When they came on stage, there was not a hint of a smile on their faces. I don't know if it's because I've won the championship too many times, and I'm already downplayed. It's still too much of a game and a little tired. In particular, Wang Chuqin played two games in a row. Later, they will also participate in the singles competition.
Sasha looked very calm, and the big-headed Wang Chuqin was even very serious, and he couldn't see that they had won the championship.
Liu Guoliang personally presented awards to Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha. It can be seen that Liu Guoliang attaches great importance to them. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha had a hint of a smile. But in the group photo session, Shatou was still very calm and did not smile.
Finally, there is a group photo of the four players. Sun Yingsha and Wang Chuqin still didn't have a smile. The Great Sage Huang Zhenting kept smiling, so happy.
Wait a while, Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha still have a game, I hope they can hold on.
